    Physical prints of this card have a translation error, which means the resulting text for Double Thread is: “This attack does 30 damage to 2 of your opponent’s Pokémon. Also apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.”

      Some prints have the error, and some have the corrected text!

    Attacks that hit benched Pokemon and specify that they still apply weakness and resistance seem VERY rare from what I can tell. From some searching I’ve only found 6 unique cards with this effect and two of them are Galvantula. What is it about this silly little spider that lets it do this ?? Also that effect on this card specifically is awesome because of the dual typing
